Well, the three great artists on jazz vibraphone should be a good starting point:
1. Lionel Hampton's recordings from the 1940's through the 1990's;
2. Milt Jackson's entire body of work with the Modern Jazz Quartet, plus albums done with others;
3. Gary Burton's entire body of work. My personal favorites of his work are the recordings done in the duo with Chick Corea (beginning with "Crystal Silence" around 1972-73).
